    What to do if I do not feel heat or air flow from my Protemp PT-53-240?

      Wendy KingJul 29, 2025
      If you don't feel heat or airflow from your Protemp Heater, first, ensure the heater is properly connected to a power supply and that there's power reaching the unit. If the room has reached the desired temperature, the thermostat will shut off the heater. Also, remember that this heater disperses heat throughout the room rather than focusing it in one area directly in front of the unit.

      The fan speed remains constant on Protemp Heater, because the settings only control the heat output. The heater is working correctly.
